How does Q397 (OECID: 0401803; BBL: 4006470016) compare with other K-12 school buildings in New York City?
The latest disclosures cover 2,301 K-12 school buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. Q397 (OECID: 0401803; BBL: 4006470016)'s ENERGY STAR score of 93 compares with an average of 64 across the 2,052 that report a score; it scores higher than 88% of them and lower than 11%. Its site EUI of 53.3 kBtu/ft² is about 13% below the average of 61.3 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 4.4 kgCO₂e/ft² is roughly in line with the group average of 4.8 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 58,000 sq ft, it is about 43% below the average floor area of 101,338 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1924, 29 years earlier than the group's average year built (1954). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 6,548 K-12 school buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 64 and a site EUI of 52.7 kBtu/ft².
How has Q397 (OECID: 0401803; BBL: 4006470016)'s energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 2 New York City disclosures for Q397 (OECID: 0401803; BBL: 4006470016), covering report years 2022–2023. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 88 in 2022 to 93 in 2023 (+5 points). Site EUI moved from 67.7 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 53.3 kBtu/ft² (2023), a 21% decrease. Reported emissions went from 300 tCO₂e to 255 tCO₂e over the same span (down 15%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 93 mean?
ENERGY STAR scores run from 1 to 100 and are computed by the EPA's Portfolio Manager as a percentile against similar buildings nationwide, adjusted for climate, size and use: a score of 93 means the building performs better than about 93% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 93 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. In New York City, 43% of scored buildings are at 75 or above.
Site energy-use intensity (EUI) is the energy a building uses on site in a year divided by its floor area, in thousand Btu per square foot — lower is more efficient. Q397 (OECID: 0401803; BBL: 4006470016)'s 53.3 kBtu/ft² across 58,000 sq ft works out to about 3.1 billion Btu (906 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 76.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 217,466 kWh of electricity and 185 therms of natural gas for the year.
